Emollient Formulations and Skin Barrier Practices in the Context of Eczema and Food Allergy Prevention

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The skin is far from a passive shield; it functions as a dynamic “living barrier” whose structural and immunological integrity is paramount in preventing atopic dermatitis (AD) and the subsequent progression of the atopic march toward food allergy (FA).

Allergen Content of Inactive Ingredients in Best‐Selling Sunscreens: A Comparison of Key Product Features

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
Allergenic risk of sunscreen active ingredients is well known, but that of inactive ingredients remains understudied. We identified and quantified allergens found in inactive ingredients of best‐selling sunscreens and developed a free tool (www.NAC80.com) that helps dermatologists recognise higher‐risk products and counsel patients prone to allergic or
